agile riding performance

economical engine

good everyday usability

versatile

weak braking performance

little torque at the bottom

simple screen

limited wind protection for tall riders

Manoeuvrability

agility

low seat height can be reduced again

heated grips

comfortable seat

resale value.

Wind protection somewhat suboptimal compared to the F800.
